Abstract
'The share of the minors, some $6, and against the wishes of many part-blood Indian parents, was put in trust. It is still a matter of contention, these part-blood parents claiming they should control the money of their protégé. The government's position in this, as guardian, no different from that of a bank committee exercising the guardianship over a fund for a minor, is that the money, if released, would make the government inturn liable when the minor becomes entitled to payment and there is no money to be paid. This then remains one of the deep-seated and hidden reasons for constant sniping at tribal leadership : part-blood parents endeavoring to break down the leadership that is preserving tribal resources."
